Looking for a camp where your kids will have fun and gain the lifelong skill of empowerment and independence in the kitchen? Plus learn how to make healthier choices when they're choosing their own food? Try Foodies Unite this summer.

Fun: Each day will find us on a different culinary adventure. We'll be kneading noodles with our feet, baking crispy potatoes, and preparing classic favorites like crepes and vegetable soup. We'll even cook with a solar oven! Kids will leave with recipes they've learned to try at home, plus the confidence in the kitchen to approach new challenges.

Healthy: We'll make lunch and talk about different ingredients, flavors and preparations. Meals are based on the philosophy that whole-food plant-based food can be tasty and fun to make. We'll talk about nutrition basics, and how to think about your body as an amazing vehicle to propel you through life.

Delicious: Lunch may be homemade pasta with pesto, salad with vinaigrette, and foccaccia, or tortilla soup and salvadoran slaw plus baked tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole, or make your own pizza with toppings. Or maybe vegetable skewers, homemade hummus and fresh baked pita, udon noodles in dashi broth with vegetables and tofu, or crepes with bananas and strawberries.

Details: Camp day runs 10:30 - 2:30 and is open to students aged 10-16. Pre-and post camp supervision are available on a day by day case by case basis.
